freaking out for UT Tyler's admission....help!

by nev

Hi everyone....yes apparently I am really freaking out now. I'm in Tyler and I'm applying for the BSN program @ UT Tyler branch. I'll be applying for fall 06 where they require the applications to be submitted by march 1. The problem is , when I file my application, I'll be short fo a&p2 and human growth and development for teh nursing pre-reqs and I'll be short of BCIS, Statistics and govt 2 for the core requisites. THe advisor told me that this is how a lot of the students apply (with a few subjects not complete)....I'll be done with my pre-reqs when I enter but the sad thing is I really feel that I wont get accepted for fall 06. I've got a 3.93 GPA and that could be my only stronghold (and ofcourse doing awesome on the NET)....Any suggestions...Anyone from UT Tyler?
Thanks
Nev

the thing I'm also worried about is that by the time I apply, I wont be able to get the 5 points for completing all nursing pre-reqs , the 3 points for completing all the core requisties and the 2 points for my associate degree and two points for something else I dont remember but it was based on completing all the prerequsites...thats a grand total of 12 points at loss!

Is there any hope?

Default Try not to stress, just apply
Hi Nev,
Well I am a senior UT-Houston and when I applied had both A&P's, Pschy of human development, Biostatistics, and a Humanities class lacking and I got in without a problem. Personally, I believe that they give more weight to your GPA. Your grades are excellent and I am sure you will at least get an interview. My advice to you is to get your application in ASAP. They say it isn't first come first serve, but don't you believe them, it is.

Good Luck,

Graceful

Yes, I think that you have a good chance of at least getting an interview at UT-Tyler.
